What if your next photoshoot looked a little more like your favourite weekend?
Maybe it’s swimming at your favourite river. Getting coffee and wandering through a bookstore. Taking your fur baby somewhere new. A road trip. A night at the carnival. Making pizza at home.
Whatever it is, I want to capture it.
Because the things you do together, the places you always go, the little traditions you have and the way you spend your time; are part of your story too.
And maybe a photoshoot doesn’t always need to be about finding a pretty location, standing in front of my camera and hoping I tell you where to put your hands.
Maybe you just invite me along.
This retreat was a bit of a turning point for me creatively. I’ve been thinking a lot about why I photograph people and what I want my photos to give you years from now.
I want you to look back and remember more than what you looked like.
I want you to remember what life felt like.
This concept, “meet me by the river,” helped me explore that idea and gave me the space to start finding the way I want to tell stories through my camera.
A huge thank you to Cailee for creating such an incredible retreat, for all of her help and guidance, and for dreaming up concepts that pushed me to think differently and create outside of what I normally would 🤍
So, if you have a favourite way to spend your weekend… maybe I should come along and capture it.
